6mm Double Sided Tape
Sometimes the fiddliest part of bag making is getting everything to stay where you want it before you stitch. CLD 6mm double sided tape gives you a 6mm adhesive strip for lining up zipper tape and small components, holding folded sections and preparing details without pins.
This is part of the same CLD tape range as the 3mm size Chris has used for years. The 6mm width and 50m roll offer an affordable option for regular bag making.
Why You’ll Love It
- 6mm width: A useful middle option when you want more contact than the 3mm tape.
- Strong adhesive hold: Helps keep layers aligned while you prepare to sew.
- Easy tear-and-peel backing: Makes applying a small piece straightforward.
- No pin holes: Holds pieces in position without piercing your material, particularly useful with vinyl faux leather.
- 50m roll: Plenty of tape for the small positioning jobs that come up throughout a project.
Useful for Bag Making
- Aligning zipper tape along pocket and pouch openings before stitching.
- Holding card slot backing pieces in place during assembly.
- Positioning fold over elastic around an edge.
- Holding folded handle and strap sections together before securing them.
- Keeping small overlays and project details aligned while you work.
Use with fabric, vinyl faux leather, leather, mesh, foam and paper. Adhesion can vary with the material and its surface, so try a small piece on an offcut before starting.
How to Use
- Check the position of your pieces and the stitching line before applying the tape.
- Apply the required length to one surface and press it down.
- Peel away the backing paper, align the second piece and press the layers together.
- Secure your project using the stitching or attachment method specified by your pattern.
Where your project allows, position the tape beside the stitching line to minimise needle contact with the adhesive. Test your setup on scraps first. The tape helps with positioning; it does not replace the final stitching or hardware attachment.
Helpful Tip from Chris
Start with a small amount of tape and check the alignment before pressing the layers firmly together. Choose a tape width that fits within the area you want to hold, leaving room for your planned stitching.
Choose the Width for Your Project
Choose our 3mm × 20m tape for narrow areas and especially for help with installing zipper tape, 6mm × 50m tape for a middle width or 12mm × 50m tape for broader contact. Match the width to the component and your stitching placement.
